They are also all brand new players and I'm a brand new DM. Hah we have 4e and I'm running the little adventure in the back of the DMG. I'm a little nervous about creating my own campaign after this published one. Any advice on that? Thanks a bunch:)

my recommendation for your first self-written campaign is to keep it small in scope. its like how when learning to ride a bike you don’t try to ride a triathalon as soon as the training wheels come off, you don’t try to save the multiverse on your first outing on your own as a DM. use a premade campaign setting; like forgotten realms. Pick one spot in that setting; in terms of forgotten realms, the city of Baldur’s gate has enough published about it to write an anthropological dissertation. once you have your place, read as much as possible about that place in advance, know it like the back of your hand before the first session. my first time DMing was in a custom made setting about saving the universe from rampaging titans in the abyss. it was a disaster. keep it small, keep in in an established setting, at least your first time. your first time out without training wheels should be all about the story, keep the background work you have to do as minimal as you can.

in terms of story, game designers have a concept called fold-back narrative; essentially, no matter how the story branches, it always folds back to a few events that have to be dealt with no matter what players do. 

essentially, make a calendar, essentially how things would resolve without player interference. with day 1 being the first day of the campaign. if players do something to affect when that event resolves, move the date of the event accordingly. if the villain’s plot is supposed to resolve on april 30th, and players do something that delays the plot, have it resolve april 31st. if they inadvertently help your big bad, have it resolve april 29th. when the day comes, give the heroes a chance to interfere, nudging them in the right direction as the time comes and is needed. and if the players are absent when an event occurs, you have to be ready to let it occur without them doing anything. if it comes to it, let the villain win. that can become a whole story line to itself.

one thing i can recommend right now to avoid is making any players critical to the story. you should never put yourselves in a position where killing a PC cripples the plot.

also try to avoid narrating the players actions as much as possible. at every opportunity, ask them “what do you want to do?” describe them walking to their destination, if they hear something they want to stop and check out on the way, let them do it. role play every NPC (i find giving people unique voices helps a lot.) give them every possible opportunity to be their character, and let the world feel alive.

in terms of names and dungeons, the resources on the wonderful website donjon are invaluable to any DM.

hope i helped. as always, feel free to message me with any followups. hope your campaign works out, 4e always felt both oversimplified and clunky to me, but its always good to have new blood in the game!

I have two PCs who are both level 4 and I have a few players who haven't even created a charactera yet. How do I deal with the level gap? How do I build encounters? Muchly, muchly appreciated. :)

Typically what i do is have the players without characters make them at the level of the party in play, in your case, level 4. This means that the characters will probably have already established themselves as a party of adventurers. this means that they will have stories to tell to the established players, however, this also means that you will have to work with the players to create a background for their characters that makes sense for a level 4 (like dealing with a goblin raid is reasonable for that level, slaying a higher demon is not.)

The Pathfinder PFSRD (Pathfinder Source Resource Document) actually has a descent chart for starting gold per level, and the 5e rule book has one within it’s pages as well. look around on the google and see if there’s a chart for your system. in the PFSRD the starting gold for level 4 is 6000GP.

Doing it this way allows you to bypass any level difference, allows the established players to keep going without feeling the need to babysit the new player’s PCs, and allows the new players to get right into the action. from there its all standard DM stuff of bringing the groups together and normal encounter creation.

Hope i answered your question. feel free to message me with any and all follow ups.
